Bermuda Cruises issues only common stock and coupon bonds. The firm has a debt–equity ratio of .73. The cost of equity is 11.5 percent and the pretax cost of debt is 6.6 percent. What is the capital structure weight of the firm's equity if the firm's tax rate is 39 percent?

Answers

Answer:

0.5780

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the capital structure weight of the firm's equity

Using this formula

Weight of equity = 1 / (1 + D-E)

Let plug in the formula

Weight of equity = 1 / (1 + .73)

Weight of equity = 1 / 1.73

Weight of equity = 0.5780

Therefore the capital structure weight of the firm's equity is 0.5780

Ken's home has a replacement value of $200,000. Ken insured the home for $150,000 under an unendorsed Homeowners 3 policy. The roof of Ken's home was damaged by a windstorm. The replacement cost of the damaged roof is $16,000. The actual cash value of the loss is $12,000. How much will Ken receive from his insurer to settle this claim

Answers

Answer: $15,000

Explanation:

Using a Homeowners 3 policy, Ken will get the higher amount out of two amounts which are:

The actual cash value of the damaged area. An amount calculated as follows:

= (Amount of Insurance cover on home / 80% of Replacement Cost) * Cost of Repair to damaged area.

The actual cash value is $12,000

The second amount is:

= (Amount of Insurance cover on home / 80% of Replacement Cost) * Cost of Repair to damaged area.

= 150,000 / (80% * 200,000) * 16,000

= 0.9375 * 16,000

= $15,000

Ken will receive the higher amount of $15,000.

B. between China and Russia or between Canada and the United​ States, because household​ production, the underground​ economy, leisure​ hours, and the environment are similar in each pair

Explanation:

The standard of living can be easily compared​ ______.     A. between China and Canada because they have a similar land size   B. between China and Russia or between Canada and the United​ States, because household​ production, the underground​ economy, leisure​ hours, and the environment are similar in each pair   C. among none of the four countries because they are too different   D. between Russia and the United States because they are both super powers   E. among all four countries because real GDP per person includes a reliable measure of​ income, household​ production, the underground​ economy, leisure​ hours, and the environment

Real Per capita GDP measures the standard of living of the people in a country. The higher the Real Per capita GDP, the higher the standard of living

Real Per capita GDP = Real GDP / population  

Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year

Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.

some items are not perfectly measured by GDP. They include

1. services not rendered to oneself

2. Activities not reported to the government  

3. illegal activities

4. sale or purchase of used products

5. sale or purchase of intermediate products

Because GDP does not measure underground economy (illegal activities) , leisure , it would be difficult to compare either pair of countries

 

State 3 arguments in favor of protectionism (in favor of trade restrictions). Please state your own opinion about the validity of each one and whether you support such argument.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Protectionism refers to the restriction of international trade by the government in order to help the domestic industries. The argument in favor of protectionism include:

• Protection of infant industries: Protectionism protects infant industries as they're protected from being subjected to unfair competition and therefore allowed to thrive.

• To prevent dumping and unfair competition

• Revenue generation for government: Through the imposition of tariffs and other policies by the government to protect domestic industries, the government also generates revenue which can be used to improve the economy.

I believe the arguments are valid and I support them.

Answers

Answer: $65,890

Explanation:

When it comes to capitalizing fixed assets, every cost that was incurred to get the fixed asset ready for use will be included in the cost price.

The cost price here is therefore;

= Cost price + Sales taxes + Logo + safety testing

=  60,000 + 4,000 + 1,600 + 290

= $65,890

The interest rate charged by the lessor and known by Red was 10%. The balance in the lease payable after two years will be: (Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar.)

Answers

Answer: $121554

Explanation:

Lease liability = $140,000

Less: Lease liability in 1st year= $8784

Lease payable after one year = $131216

Less: Lease liability in 2nd year = $9662.40

Lease payable after 2nd year = $121553.60 = $121554

Note:

Lease liability in 1st year:

= $22,784 - (10% × $140000)

= $22784 - $14000

= $8784

Lease liability in 2nd year:

= $22784 - (10% × $131216)

= $22784 - $13121.60

= $9662.40

Answer:

Pretax cost of debt = 3.48%

Aftertax cost of debt = 2.71%

Explanation:

Missing word "What is the pretax cost of debt and aftertax cost of debt"

Coupon rate = 4%

YTM = 22

Nper = YTM*2 = 44

PMT = 1000*4%/2 = 20

FV = 1000

PV = 1080

Rate = rate(nper, pmt, -pv, fv)

Rate = rate(44, 20, -1080, 1000)

Rate = 0.0174

Rate = 1.74%

Pretax cost of debt = Rate * 2

Pretax cost of debt = 1.74% * 2

Pretax cost of debt = 3.48%

Aftertax cost of debt = [3.48% * (1 - 0.22)]

Aftertax cost of debt = 3.48% * 0.78

Aftertax cost of debt = 0.0348 * 0.78

Aftertax cost of debt = 0.027144

Aftertax cost of debt = 2.71%

Congratulations! Today is your 20th birthday, but you are starting with nothing in the bank. You just started working full-time, earning $50,000 per year. Your goal is to have $5 million by your 60th birthday (i.e., 40 years from today). Your employer offers a 401(k) plan (contributions by you are tax deductible, growth is tax deferred), and within that plan you choose to invest in an extreme low-cost S&P 500 index mutual fund (like ones offered by Schwab, Fidelity, Vanguard, etc.). The long-term expected return on the S&P 500 index mutual fund is 10% per year. Your employer pays you monthly.

Required:
a. Ignoring taxes, if the employer offers no match on your contributions, how much would you need to save every month to reach your goal?
b. Ignoring taxes, if the employer offers a 10% match on your contributions, how much would you need to save every month on top of your match to reach your goal?
c. Assume your Federal marginal tax rate is 24% and State marginal tax rate is 6%. What is the answer to question (b) on an after-tax basis (i.e., how much do you have to contribute every month after the employer match and net of tax savings)?

Answers

Answer:

A) $790.63

B) $718.75

C) $503.13

Explanation:

a. Interest rate = 10%, monthly rate = 10%/12 = 0.10/12

Number of years = 60-20 = 40 years = 40*12 = 480 months

Goal = FV = 5,000,000

The monthly savings needed if employers offers no match =PMT(rate,nper,pv,fv) =PMT(0.10/12,480,0,5000000)

= $790.63

b. If employer offers a 10% match.

Then monthly savings needed

= 790.63/1.10

= 718.75

Monthly savings needed with 10% match by employer

= $718.75

c. Tax savings are 24%+6% = 30%.

So on the contribution of 718.75, you save a 30% tax. So. tax savings = 718.75*0.30 = $ 215.63

So, monthly contribution taking into account tax savings and employer match

= 718.75 -215.62

= $503.13

b. $7,700 U
c. $11,770 U
d. $6,120 U

Answers

Answer:

d. $6,120 U

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the materials price variance for the month

Using this formula

Materials price variance = (AQ × AP) – (AQ × SP)

Let plug in the formula

Materials price variance = $138,600 – (7,200 meters × $18.40 per meter)

Materials price variance = $138,600 – $132,480

Materials price variance = $6,120 U

Therefore Materials price variance is $6,120 U

Compute the value of price elasticity of supply. If the percentage in quantity supply is 75% and percentage change in price is 55%.​

Answers

Answer:

Price elasticity of supply = 1.36%

Explanation:

Given the following data;

percentage in quantity supply = 75%  

percentage change in price = 55%.

To find the the value of price elasticity of supply;

A price elasticity of supply (PES) can be defined as a measure of the responsiveness of the quantity of a product supplied with respect to a change in price of the product, all things being equal.

Mathematically, the price elasticity of supply is given by the formula;

[tex] Price \; elasticity \; of \; supply = \frac {Percentage \; change \; in \; supply}{Percentage \; change \; in \; price} [/tex]  

Substituting into the formula, we have;

[tex] Price \; elasticity \; of \; supply = \frac {75}{55} [/tex]

Price elasticity of supply = 1.36%

Therefore, the degree of elasticity is said to be elastic because the price elasticity of supply (PES) is greater than 1.

Compare the three-week moving average forecast with the exponential smoothing forecast using = 0.2. Which appears to provide the better forecast based on MSE?

Answers

Answer:

a. We have:

MSE: 63.03

The forecast for week 7: 15.33

b. We have:

MSE: 47.49

The forecast for week 7: 16.35

c. The exponential smoothing forecast using = 0.2. appears to provide the better forecast based on MSE.

Explanation:

a. Develop the three-week moving average forecasts for this time series. Compute MSE and a forecast for week 7 (to 2 decimals if necessary).

Note: See Part a of the attached excel file for the Calculations of Forecast, Error, and Error^2.

From the attached excel file, we can have:

MSE = Mean squared error = Total of Error^2 / Number of observation under the Error^2 = 252.11 / 4 = 63.03

The forecast for week 7 = 15.33

b. Use = 0.2 to compute the exponential smoothing values for the time series. Compute MSE and a forecast for week 7.

Note: See Part b of the attached excel file for the Calculations of Forecast, Error, and Error^2.

From the attached excel file, we can have:

MSE = Mean squared error = Total of Error^2 / Number of observation under the Error^2 = 284.96 / 6 = 47.49

The forecast for week 7 = 16.35

Note that under exponential smoothing, forecast for week 2 has to be the Time Series Value for week 1.

b. Compare the three-week moving average forecast with the exponential smoothing forecast using = 0.2. Which appears to provide the better forecast based on MSE?

Since 47.49 MSE of the exponential smoothing forecast using = 0.2 is less than 63.03 MSE of the three-week moving average forecast, it implies that  the exponential smoothing forecast using = 0.2. appears to provide the better forecast based on MSE.

From the standpoint of the issuing company, a disadvantage of using bonds as a means of long-term financing is that Group of answer choices bond interest is deductible for tax purposes. interest must be paid on a periodic basis regardless of earnings. income to stockholders may increase as a result of trading on the equity. the bondholders do not have voting rights.

Answers

Answer:

interest must be paid on a periodic basis regardless of earnings.

Explanation:

A bond can be defined as a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (investor or creditor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time. The bond issuer are expected to return the principal (face value) at maturity with an agreed upon interest (coupon), which are paid at fixed intervals.

The disadvantages of bonds are listed below as;

1. Bonds can decrease a person's return on equity.

2. Bonds require a payment of the principal amount.

3. Bonds typically require a payment of periodic interest.

Generally, most bonds with shorter maturity time respond less dramatically to changes in interest rates when compared to bonds having longer maturity. Thus, the risk associated with short bonds isn't really significant because their interest rates are less likely to change substantially within that short period of time unlike bonds with longer maturity.

Hence, regardless of the earnings by bondholders, interest must be paid on a periodic basis on a long-term bond.

Highsmith Rental Company purchased an apartment building early in 2021. There are 20 apartments in the building and each is furnished with major kitchen appliances. The company has decided to use the group depreciation method for the appliances. The following data are available:

Appliance Cost       Residual Value       Service Life (in Years)
Stoves $15,000 $3,000 6
Refrigerators 10,000 1,000 5
Dishwashers 8,000 500 4

In 2019, three new refrigerators costing $2,700 were purchased for cash. The old refrigerators, which originally cost $1,500, were sold for $200.

Requried:
a. Calculate the group depreciation rate, group life, and depreciation for 2016.
b. Prepare the journal entries to record the purchase of the new refrigerators and the sale of the old refrigerators.

Answers

Answer:

A. Group depreciation rate 17.197%

Group life 5.02 years

Depreciation for 2016 $5,675

B. 2019

Dr Stove, refrigerator and dishwasher $2,700

Cr Cash $2,700

2019

Dr Accumulated Depreciation $1,300

Dr Cash $200

Cr Stove, refrigerator and dishwasher $1,500

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine the group depreciation rate, group life, and depreciation for 2016.

First step is the Computation of Group depreciation rate, group life and depreciation for 2016

Assets Original Residual Depreciation Estimated Depreciation

Cost Value Cost Life-Years per year-SLM

Stoves $15,000-$3,000= $12,000 6 $2,000 ($12,000/6=$2,000)

Refrigerators $10,000-$1,000=$9,000 5 $1,800 ($9,000/5=$1,800)

Dishwashers $8,000-$500=$7,500 4 $1,875

($7,500/4=$1,875)

Total $33,000 $4,500 $28,500 $5,675

Now let determine the group depreciation rate, group life, and depreciation for 2016.

Calculation for group depreciation rate using this formula

Group Depreciation Rate = Total depreciation per year ÷ Total original cost

Let plug in the formula

Group depreciation rate = $5,675 ÷ $33,000*100

Group depreciation rate= 17.197%

Calculation for Group life using this formula

Group life = Total depreciation cost ÷ Total depreciation per year

Let plug in the formula

Group life = $28,500 ÷ $5,675

Group life = 5.02 years

Calculation for Depreciation for 2016 using this formula

Depreciation for 2016= Original Cost × Group Depreciation Rate

Let plug in the formula

Depreciation for 2016 = $33,000 × 0.17197

Depreciation for 2016= $5,675

Therefore the group depreciation rate is 17.197%, group life is 5.02 years, and depreciation for 2016 is $5,675

B. Preparation of the journal entries to record the purchase of the new refrigerators and the sale of the old refrigerators.

2019

Dr Stove, refrigerator and dishwasher $2,700

Cr Cash $2,700

(To record purchase of new refrigerator)

2019

Dr Accumulated Depreciation $1,300

($1,500-$200)

Dr Cash $200

Cr Stove, refrigerator and dishwasher $1,500

(To record sale of old refrigerator)

Our condemnation of the lust of power and conquest that Germany displayed during the war is strong and unwavering. But a condemnation of wartime actions must not amount to a lasting condemnation of an entire nation.The question is not whether the Germans have been led astray by their leaders, or whether they have been willing accomplices in the misdeeds of those leadersthe question is, whether it is in the interest of mankind to punish the German people as the Entente governments seem to have decided to do.The Entente evidently desires the complete annihilation of Germany. Not only will its whole commercial fleet be confiscated, but its shipbuilding yards will be obliged to work for the foreigner for some time to come. Whole regions of Germany will be entirely deprived of their liberty; they will be under a committee of foreign domination, without adequate representation. The financial burden is so heavy that it is no exaggeration to say that Germany is reduced to economic bondage. The Germans will have to work hard and incessantly for foreign masters, without any chance of personal gain, or any prospect of regaining liberty or economic independence.This peace offered to Germany is a mockery of President Wilsons principles. Trusting in these, Germany surrendered and accepted peace. That confidence has been betrayed in such a manner that all Germans must now feel that they wish to shake off the heavy yoke imposed on them by the cajoling Entente. And we fear very much that they will soon find the opportunity to do so. Chained and enslaved, Germany will always remain a menace to Europe.Algemeen Handelsblad, Dutch liberal newspaper, editorial on the Treaty of Versailles, June 1919The mention of President Wilsons principles is most directly significant to understanding the editorials point of view about the Treaty of Versailles because of the United States presidents commitment toestablish an international organization to prevent future conflictsAnswer A: establish an international organization to prevent future conflictsAwork to create nation-states for ethnic minorities that had been under imperial controlAnswer B: work to create nation-states for ethnic minorities that had been under imperial controlBbroker a peace agreement on liberal principles that would not be motivated by revengeAnswer C: broker a peace agreement on liberal principles that would not be motivated by revengeCresist the spread of Bolshevism following the Russian Revolution The Thirty Years War in Central Europe began whenthe Anglican Church was established in Germany and was met with resistance.Lutheran princes challenged the Holy Roman Emperor, who was Catholic.Lutheran princes battled Huguenot princes for control of German states.Calvinists went to Germany to spread their beliefs and establish strict laws. 4) Last week Kathryn ran 8.6 miles morethan Jaidee.
